Louisiana Boy

Well I called in sick I had to get away I was goin' crazy out here in L.A I need to go where the crawfish flowed like wine Well I packed up my things and headed down the road Took a little more than a weekly load I'm goin' to Louisiana for a long, long time One more day and I'll be there by dawn I can't wait to see that state 'cause partner that's where I'm from I'm a Louisiana boy grew up on the corner I'm used to the people and I even drink the water Been shucking them oysters since I was just a kid Trapping alligators like my grandad did I moved to the city where the girls looked pretty But now I'm back to stay I'm a Louisiana boy with a pocket full of money And a love for the delta bay Well it used to be where everybody knew me I was drinking liquor when I was thirteen They called me the Cajun kid everywhere I'd go But when I moved away I left it all behind With my overalls and my gator skin tie I swore that I'd never come back to the life I'd known But the city life was just too different for me I could move away but I'd just come back to keep on living down stream I'm a Louisiana boy grew up on the corner I'm used to the people and I even drink the water Been shucking them oysters since I was just a kid Trapping alligators like my grandad did I moved to the city where the girls looked pretty But now I'm back to stay I'm a Louisiana boy with a pocket full of money And a love for the delta bay One more day and I'll be there by dawn I can't wait to see that state 'cause partner that's where I'm from I'm a Louisiana boy grew up on the corner I'm used to the people and I even drink the water Been shucking them oysters since I was just a kid Trapping alligators like my grandad did I moved to the city where the girls looked pretty But now I'm back to stay I'm a Louisiana boy with a pocket full of money And a love for the delta bay Yes I'm a Louisiana boy with a pocket full of money And a love for the delta bay All right
